I’m doing my regular Wed morning gig on @SportsRadio610 and @Seth Payne is in a screaming match on air with Josh Innes from rival 790. They’re on air calling each other names and other stations taping. Like rasslin

It’s good to know that even though Radio Row is sitting in the middle of a food court next to a Sbarro’s this year in Minnesota, that it still hasn’t lost its charm. Nothing says “sports radio guys” like a little verbal warfare about ratings first thing in the morning at the Super Bowl.
So these are Houston radio hosts Seth Payne and Josh Innes (a former Philly host) from rival stations SportsRadio 610 and SportsTalk 790, respectively. The video starts with things already off and running, and 2 minutes full of shouting and testosterone later, literally nothing is accomplished.

Sorry, but we can’t call this one a “fight”. I needed a punch or two thrown, followed by some awkward grabbing before we call this thing a real grown men fight. This is your classic sports radio “fight” over who has better ratings, where it’s basically two toddlers fighting over who has better toys.
And to bring all the sports radio news this week back full circle, the account that tweeted the video is the same show that called Tom Brady’s daughter a “pissant” earlier in the week. That’s the sports radio circle of life.
Here are more comments from John McClain, who sat there and rolled his eyes the whole time
In my 43 years on Houston radio I’ve never seen anything like this. Payne and Innes screaming at each other on air.

That’s the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever experienced on the radio in 43 years. It’s also the first time I’ve walked off a show.

We’re still not totally sure what started this beef
According to Innes, this began when Seth Payne called him a bitch, but who knows for sure.
Seth, you literally started this when you called Jim over to the table and called josh a bitch. Stop spreading lies!

Why? He didn’t even talk to you… he came over to say hi to the other hosts on 610, he was asked him to & he left… while he was walking off you called him back over and started shit….

You then told him to leave and he did. Then you called him back over. https://t.co/o1IYrThBHt
